The source of hot mineral water in Borjomi is located in the city park near the warehouse building. The source is located in a green gazebo with a glass dome, which gives it a special aesthetic appearance. To access the source you need to go down, as it is located below the level of the paths in the park, in a kind of niche. Here you can drink water for free or take it with you, but it is recommended to prepare the container in advance. Water flows through taps installed on both sides of a rectangular stone column.
Borjomi mineral water is of magmatic origin and originates at a depth of about 8-10 kilometers. Under the influence of high temperatures and pressure, it rises to the surface, passing through layers of volcanic-sedimentary rocks and becoming saturated with minerals. The water comes to the surface warm, with a temperature of 38-41 degrees, which makes it unique among hydrocarbonate sodium mineral waters.
The source is largely valued for its healing properties, due to the high content of various minerals. Water from the source is recommended to drink for those who care about their health and want to enjoy natural mineral water in its original form. Over time, water loses its beneficial properties: warm water after 12-24 hours, cold water after 72 hours. After a day, warm water loses the smell of hydrogen sulfide and becomes like bottled Borjomi.
For those who prefer cold water, Borjomi also has a source of cold mineral water, which is located on April 9th Street next to the monument dedicated to the events of April 9th. The water from this source is distinguished by the presence of an iron taste and the smell of hydrogen sulfide. Despite the unusual smell and taste, the water remains healthy and retains its properties for 72 hours.
A visit to the mineral water sources in Borjomi is recommended for those who appreciate the natural origin and healing properties of mineral waters, and are also looking for a unique and healing experience. The park surrounding the spring provides an excellent opportunity for relaxation and walks in the fresh air.
